| Explanation.
A team of national subject matter experts worked with the Resources Inventory and Assessment Division (RIAD) to create a spreadsheet report for each State, as well as national maps, of priorities related to climate change, equity, and urban agriculture. Data at the county level are available in the report. However, some climate data for Alaska and territories are incomplete. A data dictionary is available with the spreadsheets in each priority area. There will be a briefing on September 1, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. EST to discuss the data. You may access the data at A_FY2022_Update_Climate_Equity_Urban_Analysis_Deliverables.
The data available include:
o Land use base
- Limited to State level for Alaska and territories
o Land use base by climate mitigation categories
o Historic Treatment 2005 – 2021 Unique Applied Acres for each climate smart practice
o Historic Treatment 2019 – 2021 Unique Applied Acres for each climate smart practice
o Average Carbon Management & Emissions Tool (COMET) model rates in Mtons/acre/year for each climate smart practice
- Not available for Alaska or territories
o Acreage gap between applicable land use base and recent historic treatment for each climate smart practice
o Ratios of treatment acres over land use acres for each climate smart practice
o Potential carbon benefit gained from treatment acres for each climate smart practice
- Not available for Alaska or territories
o Mitigation category summaries of potential treatment, including cropland, grazing land, nitrogen management, and tree and perennial biomass
o Historically underserved farmers and ranchers
- Beginning (BFR) and socially disadvantaged (SDFR) producers, National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Census of Agriculture
o Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) contracts with BFR and SDFR producers
o Historically underserved index evaluating EQIP engagement against NASS Census of Agriculture data on BFR and SDFR populations
- BFR and SDFR indexes
o Land use in urban census tracts
o Needs based on economic, food access, and historical redlining
o Conservation practices applied in urban census tracts
o Practice treatment gap in urban census tracts
